Set Children’s Search Buttons

To set which search buttons are available for text searches in Polaris PowerPAC Children’s Edition:

1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Profiles folder for the organization, and select the Children’s PAC tab in the details view.
2. Double-click the following profiles and set them to Yes or No:

• Search button visibility: Anywhere button - Launches keyword search in all fields
• Search button visibility: Authors button - Launches keyword search for author
• Search button visibility: Fiction button - Launches search term subject search scoped to fiction
• Search button visibility: Non-Fiction button - Launches search term subject search scoped to non-fiction
• Search button visibility: Series button - Launches keyword search for series name
• Search button visibility: Subject button - Launches keyword search for subject
• Search button visibility: Title button - Launches keyword search for title

By default, each is set to Yes (search button is displayed).

If all seven profiles are set to No, the Look for text field remains displayed although no buttons appear. However, the user can type text in the field and press ENTER. A keyword search in all fields (Anywhere) is launched. This feature is available regardless of what buttons are displayed.

3. Select File > Save.
